A perfect, 2.1 cm long doubly-terminated tetragonal crystal of Zircon with the most amazing colour and lustre, in matrix from the world famous occurrence at Seiland Island, Norway. The Zircon crystal has a great orange-brown rootbeer colour with firey internal reflections. The crystal form is textbook and it sits perfectly for display within black Biotite and white Feldspar matrix. A superb specimen from this restricted classic location.
